End-Tidal CO
This prospective study included 32 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for elective coronary artery bypass grafting correlates the respiratory end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) during partial separation from CPB with cardiac output (CO) following weaning from CPB. After induction of general anesthesia, a pulmonary artery catheter was inserted for measurement of cardiac output by thermodilution. Patients were monitored using a 5-lead ECG, pulse oximeter, invasive blood pressure monitoring, rectal temperature probe, and end-tidal capnography. At the end of surgery, patients were weaned from CPB in a stepwise fashion. Respiratory ETCO2 and in-line venous oximetry were continuously monitored during weaning. The ETCO2 was recorded at quarter pump flow and after complete weaning from CPB. Following weaning from CPB, CO was measured by thermodilution. The CO values were correlated with the ETCO2 during partial bypass and following weaning from bypass. Regression analysis of ETCO2 at quarter-flow and post-bypass CO showed significant correlation (r = 0.57, p 30 mm Hg during partial CPB will always predict an adequate CO following weaning from CPB. An ETCO2 <30 mm Hg may denote either a low or a normal cardiac output and hence other predictive parameters such as SvO2 must be added

Desflurane and sevoflurane concentrations in blood passing through the oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass: a randomized prospective pilot study
La cardioprotection contre les lésions de reperfusion est maximale après deux minutes seulement d’administration de sévoflurane chez des rats
Comparison of the myocardial protective effect of sevoflurane versus propofol in patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
Cardioprotective effects of anesthetic preconditioning in rats with ischemia-reperfusion injury: propofol versus isoflurane
Objective: We compare the cardioprotective effects of anesthetic preconditioning by propofol and/or isoflurane in rats with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: Male adult Wistar rats were subjected to 60 min of anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Before the long ischemia, anesthetics were administered twice for 10 min followed by 5 min washout. Isoflurane was inhaled at 1 MAC (0.016) in I group, whereas propofol was inhaled intravenously at 37.5 mg/(kg·h) in P group. A combination of isoflurane and propofol was administered simultaneously in I+P group. Results: In control (without anesthetic preconditioning, C group), remarkable myocardial infarction and apoptosis accompanied by an increased level of cardiac troponin T were noted 120 min after ischemia-reperfusion. As compared to those of control group, I and P groups had comparable cardioprotection. In addition, I+P group shares with I and P groups the comparable cardioprotective effects in terms of myocardial infarction and cardiac troponin T elevation. Conclusion: A combination of isoflurane and propofol produced no additional cardioprotection
